"It restores lost Strength, hinders Swoonings and Syncope, resarciates the habit of the body, extenuated by Long Fluxes, or other Immoderate Vacuations. It helps and benefits the macilent [emaciated] and consumed, by humectating [moistening], nourishing, and roborating [strengthening] them". (Renodeus)

"It strengthens Radical Moisture [Yin] softens, moistens, is nutritive, and comforts. It opens the pores, lessens Choler, resists Fever, Cough and Thirst. It restores lost strength and pristine Health, and treats Consumption and Hectics’. (Val Cordi Dispensatorium, 1622)


Salmon mocked the usefulness of such a small amount of Saffron, it being but 1 part in 2400, and suggested a larger proportion.
